We were honored to welcome State Superintendent Dr. Richard Woods to Commerce Middle School today. He presented CMS with the Literacy Leader Award for 6th-grade students’ achievement and growth in reading. This incredible recognition is a testament to the dedication, perseverance, and hard work of our students, teachers, and staff in fostering a strong culture of literacy and academic excellence. We are so proud of our school community for this outstanding accomplishment! Thank you, Dr. Woods, for celebrating this achievement with us. Together, we continue to inspire a love for learning and literacy in our students!

Bingo for Books was a huge success at CPS! We had an amazing turnout, and fun was had by all. Best of all, every student left with a brand-new book! At Commerce City Schools, we are committed to promoting literacy and are proud to sponsor engaging reading incentives like this.
